HADLEIGH GUILDHALL

Hadleigh Guildhall provides Wedding options rich in diversity. Your special day can be small and cosy in the medieval rooms, or a much larger celebration in the Victorian Grand hall. A ceremony overlooking one of the most unique clusters of architecture in the country, followed by a reception flowing between the prestigious Guildroom and the prettiest of walled gardens. Catering can be traditional with silver service and velvet chairs in the beamed Old Town Hall, or relax with fairy lights and street food, it couldn’t be easier. Hadleigh Guildhall provides a back drop to endless possibilities, and being charity run, provides one of the best value for money Wedding venue options in Suffolk.

Memorable Moments

To keep everyone entertained, the couple hired a DJ from Vital Soundz & Lighting, who kept their guests dancing all night.

“We were both nervous and excited on the morning of the wedding,” shares Emily. “For me the worst past was the anticipation whilst in the car and right before the ceremony started, but it all went away once I saw Craig. At the end of the ceremony, when it comes to the ‘I dos’, Craig opted for a less traditional response and instead went for: ‘hell yeah’ – it’s a good thing we weren’t in a church!”

The couple had the perfect day thanks to many of their suppliers. “Our photographer, Brittany, was amazing,” explains Emily. “She made everything so easy and relaxed. There was also some secret planning she had done with my mum and some close friends to bring my horse for a surprise visit on the day. The venue owner, Emily, was also incredibly thoughtful; she put so many little touches in place and made sure everything went smoothly.

I will always be grateful to Emily; she made sure the barn was all ready for us and set up garden furniture as well as the seating for the ceremony. The whole set-up was great, there was space for people inside the barn, in the marquee and also out in the gardens. It made for a fun and relaxing atmosphere.

“Our families helped in the lead up to and on the day and we couldn’t have done it without them,” adds Emily. “The cars that the bridesmaids and I arrived in were all thanks to my friend Sarah who organised them as they belonged to her dad. He even dressed up as a chauffeur with a special hat and matched the ribbons on the car to my dress!”

Honeymoon

“We have booked to go away to Cape Verde for two weeks next year as our official honeymoon, but in the week after the wedding, we had a mini-moon at Quy Mill Hotel & Spa, Cambridge, for a couple of days so that we could relax and just be together after all the festivities,” recalls the bride. “We also treated ourselves to a couple of pamper sessions.”
